vacuum fault diagnosis tool?

[Keith]

Hi
does anyone know where I can find (in the UK or internet or by making one) an inexpensive tool for vacuum circuit diagnosis.

I noticed on Benzworld the US guys use something called Mity-vac. Is this available in the UK maybe or is there an alternative.

I dont expect to use if very much so am looking for a DIY priced item if possible or if its expensive then a hire solution. Alternatively if its possible to cobble something together from other bits then I would like to know how to do it.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Keith

Mity-vac's are available in the UK.... I bought one recently to bleed some brakes (£40 for the plastic version and £90 for metal IIRC).

Subsequent to buying one, I noticed I could have saved some money by visiting a sex shop and buying something called an enlarger....

Only £10.25 for the vacuum pump from http://www.sex-toys-4-fun.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/27_34/products_id/279 (funny what you stumble across on the web sometimes huh?)

Diagnostic tools from a sex shop???

Hello Spike

Did you happen to notice whether there were any other cheap sex toys that could double as diagnostic tools for MBs?

I don't know about you, but I keep my tools in the boot not in my trousers.

LOL yes, I like to keep my tools separate too ... but he was after a cheap Mityvac... and I told him where to find one.
